Dennie lived more than half his life in kennels

Dennie finally went to a foster home 3 weeks ago, but he has been unwell since. Anxious, off his food, vomiting, and losing weight rapidly - we were concerned Dennie had a life-threatening blockage.

SASH emergency looked after Dennie in the hospital for 5 days. A CT scan thankfully didn’t show a blockage, and Addison's Disease was ruled out through multiple blood tests. Dennie has been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Poor poor Dennie had bad regurgitation following the procedures, but he is back in his foster home now recovering.

There’s no quick fix for IBD so it is still a long road ahead for Dennie. We are starting to see small improvements so we're crossing everything this continues. Dennie needs daily medications, weekly B12 shots and a special diet which is incredibly expensive, especially being a large breed.

With your support, MBRC will be there every step of the way for Dennie. It’s our promise.
